Jy Thursday. Hell Yeah, Danny g I Wa Samuel Hello,
(02:20):
Sam Hi and Rich, it sucks that you're in New
York because you're missing out on the wonderful Man.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Hello, I know I played the Mets clip for Rich.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know I saw that at the bar right before
I came to the studio to do the show. I
stopped to meet a friend, got a little chips and guac,
and I wait a minute, the game's on right now.
And yeah, Mets Lindor put it in the books.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So before we talk about the Ryan Garcia witch hunt,
do you believe him? Do you believe that he took
peds or do you believe that he didn't do it
at all? That's his claim. We'll explain. We'll get to
your feedback before we get into all the gossip and
the drama. Rich, I know you had some stories. How
does it feel to be in New York?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Man, Yeah, everyone's unnecessarily hustling around. I still got that vibe.
I lived most of my life here, and I look around,
I'm like, where's everyone going?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You were wearing your shirt. You were wearing a shirt
yesterday that said hustle false sanitizing.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Maybe an irony for everyone that thinks they're on there hustling,
grind get all over it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know, it's just a lifestyle and we lived it,
and you kind of get past it. You hit a
point in life. It's like that lame song you used
to play in your pop radio days. Rich. You know,
you stay in New York too long, it makes you hard,
makes you too cold. You get sick of that grind.
And then you stay in LA too long it makes
you a little soft. Right, what's that lame song you
(03:47):
talked about.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You're quoting Neil Diamond, not a pop song from my time,
that's Neil Diamond.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I am. I said, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's what the song's about. I know that song.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh well, are you talking about boz Lerman?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that corny song. Truth to it too, because you
know we're not hating on the East Coast, that's where
we're from. But I think I'm over that grind as well, Buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I look around and someone once said this to me,
And you might say this a BS statement, but someone said,
other than sports, do you ever see someone important running around?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You never see anyone who's running stuff running around. It's
usually someone less important. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, have you ever seen our boss like running to
get something?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Because guess what, he's the guy running it, right, she's
the woman running it. Like, so I look at all
these people, I'm like, where are you running to? You
must not be that important.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's well again, you could think that, but that's also
the lifestyle. That's what got us to where we are
right now. That that sort of hustle, that sort of hunger,
that sort of pace, it's just a different pace. In
New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We used to make fun of the tourists that would
stop in their tracks and look up at the buildings. Yeah,
and I don't hate him anymore, Kavino, because they're the
ones visiting a city, like trying to take it all in.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I now look at the people bumping into them, like,
get out of here. What do you think you're doing?
I look at that out like, get out here, loser.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I'm trying to get to work over.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You know what, though, neither of you have ever had
to produce the Covino and Rich Show and live commercials before,
because I've had to sprint from studio to studio. And
there was a day where Ramos was like, I didn't
know you could run that fast. I can't do it, Ramos,
do it, Ramos.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I didn't know you can't run that fast. That's like
a John Mullaney. Yeah, it's very Mullaney. Like Mulaney has
that new special with Letterman on Netflix. I'll put that
in tomorrow's Weekend Hobnobin.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But I do have one quick story before you get
into Mahomes and Ryan Garcia and let's be honest, a
couple uneventful playoff games last night. I felt like I
missed nothing by watching the highlights, like two thirty point differentials,
like that tonight's the game and that nine pm East
Coast start.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well we got yeah, we got some must wins Covina.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's got to hurt people that have an early morning
of work, Like the Nick sixer starts at nine o'clock, right.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
All those people are gonna be running to the office.
I'm sure. Yeah, not so important.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Before we get to NBA, your boy Ryan Garcia doing drugs,
all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I get to New York and I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
You know how Comuna when you went to Hawaii, they
think you're Hawaiian even though you're Mexican and Italian. Apparently
Mexican plus Italian looks Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I got that. You know, Mario Lopez looking vibe
about me where I'm sort of ethnically ambiguous a little bit.
You know how. I realized that I started getting discounts
on all my receipts, and I was like, I know
I'm cool in all, but I'm not that cool. I'm like,
why am I getting all these discounts? What does this mean?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And I asked one of those you're not an island boy?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, and it's like, I forget the name of it,
but there's a local discount that you get, and I
would get it when I was in Hawaii, and I
thought it was like a one time thing. I went
there again. I still got it. So they assume that
I'm Hawaiian and I'm cool. I feel one with the people.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I pulled even though I am LA guy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now for the last man, we've been in La you
and I moved out with our show in twenty fifteen,
so it's a good eight plus years, man, which is wild.
But I went to the front desk of the hotel
I'm staying at and I'm like, I'm here to check in,
give him the credit card, ID, let's move this along.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And this girl gave me.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Of course, your typical new York East Coast attitude like
we don't got rooms up at until four o'clock okay,
And I'm like, whoa all right? East Coast customer service
from route out the gate.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Clearly a spicy latina that you're dealing with based on
the impression, Yeah, like monsy on steroids, sponsy spicy manzi.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So this guy's like, we don't got rooms until four
o'clock okay. I was like, so four o'clock, dude, it
was like one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I had taken the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Red Eye meaning I got on a midnight flight, got
to New York at eight am, got breakfast with a
buddy that was kind enough to pick me up at
the airport, and then I made my way to Manhattan.
When you want to check into your room.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
By the way, grown man, aren't you embarrassed asking for
rides all the time your poor buddy has to pick
you up. You can't get an uber.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
No, I would never I would never want someone to
go out of the way to pick me up. But
it was picked me up too, so we could go
have breakfast together. Yeah, sure you've finagled that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, dude, same way, buy you eggs if you pick
me up at the airport.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Dude, the same way you never living at same way
your family rich.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Tom Sawyer's people into doing things for him and he
gives you like a slice of pizza as a thank you.
I know your tricks. I know your tricks.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
How far does your family in Jersey live from Newark Airport?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
They live fifteen minutes away and still don't want to
pick me up. And I'm sure your buddy doesn't want
to pick you up either. Well, you're grown mans.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
He picked me up and we had breakfast, and he
showed me his new place, see boat on the water,
And I was like, look at you living the life.
Drop me in the city, and all I wanted to
do was get in my hotel room, lay down, take
a little nap, take a shower. I don't sleep well
on the Red Eye, even with two edibles and a
glass of wine.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I was like, I was. I was just couldn't fall
a sleep people.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Wine, dude. That's and you couldn't fall asleep, dude. I
just keep staring at my coat of sleep, and then
in my head I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Why can't I sleep?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
My goodness, So.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Maybe I dozed off for like twenty minutes at a time.
Three times maybe, okay. So again the woman goes, we
don't got rooms.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Until far o'clock. Okay, So I go, I know how
this works.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
She's scarfaced.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Now I go, ma'am, I know how this worked.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Did she say you think you'll big time? I'll show
you shot good night to the back guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
So I said to her, Hey, listen, I know how
this works. I'm a New Yorker at heart, and I.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Perhaps you know my friend George Washington.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, I was like, perhaps you know my friend Andrew Jackson.
So I go, hey, I'm not from Iowa. No offense, Sam,
I'm not from Boise, Idaho. You know, I know New York.
This is my town. I just don't live her anymore.
You got rooms? I threw a twenty and she goes, well,
do you know what I think? I do have something?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm now you've got so how you did that? Wow?
So I was like, but get this insulting. If they
really didn't, though, I would have took your money and
be like, sorry, we don't. But hey, man, you got
that off So no.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But but here's the thing, MANCI take a look at
one of their phones, because she goes, there is one thing, though.
I go, I don't really care what the thing is.
It's a New York hotel. It was only a couple
hundred bucks, so I'm not expecting the four seasons.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know, it was like a newer hotel. But I
knew it was small. I knew the rooms were small.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
She goes, no, no, the one room I have, the
tall let's got a problem. What do you mean the
toilet's got a problem? She goes, do you want me
to tell you?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I go no, no, I'm fine, Give me the room.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
She goes, it's tricky, I got I don't know what
could be tricky about a toilet. Give me the room.
I'm not waiting till four o'clock. That's three hours, bro.
This is one of those New York City small hotels
where you can't even sit on the toilet if you wanted.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's slanted, dude, it's slanted and the bowl, the toilet
bowl has a pull in front of it, so you
actually didn't want to send on a toy.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You have to straddle the sink.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
What wre rich?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm looking at this now, what is that? It's the
it's the sink and poll it's the sink. You have
to have your left and right leg on opposite sides
of a pole. You'd have to be a US gymnast,
so you have to sit on the side. He's sitting sideways.
Who's saying I feel excluded.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Everyone's looking at their phones and I'm just looking at
you guys, look at your phones.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, send it to Mansi and you know we'll post
it at covin On rich on her.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You have to sit like side saddle kind of no,
but you either do that or you have to straddle
the sink. And Danny G, let me tell you sitting
sideways like Paul wall Bro.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Danny G, you're a little bit of a bigger guy
than me. I could promise you. There's no way you'd
be able to sit on this toilet.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No way you need like stirrups or something.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You'd have to be.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Like I'm going with the lobby. Wait, I've never seen
anything like this. I thought you were exaggerating. I really
did sideways.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah, it's against the walls. I would camp out at
the lobby bathroom. Bring my bathroom.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Are you in the picture now?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So that was my twenty dollars. I want my room now.
I guess you would say penalty.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Listen, phone, listen, Poppy, listen, Papa, I have the hok up.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But yeah, just one problem, Rich. You should have asked
for ten of that twenty back.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah for real, Yeah you should go back like I
want to want ten bunths back I need. That's awesome.
By the way, you got to post this. Can you
post this now at Covino and Rich at radio.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
During our first commercial breakout? Post it.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
I don't understand how you didn't ask when she told
you, you should have been like, yes, what do you mean
does it not flush? Because I think she should have
been like, you're just not gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Fitny Monty when I tell you you have to say sideway,
you have to sideway, Okay, you get on the toilet.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I said sideway. Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think I think I'm okay with that. That is impossible.
Why that's the one he just talked about the hustle
and bustle of New York. That should be the one
peaceful moment you get. And that's a nightmare. That makes
me talk this New York even more. And I say
that respectfully, Como. It was a small room. It's a
it's a midtown Times Square hotel. It's not dirty, but
(13:46):
mid before seasons. And let me tell you, they're like,
it's one of the smaller rooms and the bathroom has
an issue. And I saw it when I tell you,
I saw probably twenty people in the lobby on the
couches by the little fireplace, like waiting because they were
told the same thing. I'd be like, no, rom style
far and I'm like, I'm not waiting with the rest
of these jibbronis.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I want my room.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The penalty is so you get what you paid for you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, you should have gave her a hundred. Maybe we've
got normal toilet. So wow, that's that's terrible. I'm sorry
to hear that. So rich. Now that we know the story,
why don't you tell us why you're in New York
and then we'll set up this Ryan Garcia drama.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, So not only do we have Ryan Garcia drama,
we're gonna talk to the most famous beekeeper yep in
North America within ten minutes, a guy that saved the day.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Are you serious? Yeah, well that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Danny Danny G. Danny G. You're pretty good. Sleuth.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I feel like you're like, you know how everyone's girlfriend
could dig up stelf on anyone's ex if they wanted.
Danny G could find a guest better than anyone. If
it's like the girl that caught the Dodger home run
of Otani, if it's the beekeeper, Danny G like tracks
him down, like as a sleuth.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
This is how I got India's most famous tiger hunter
on an thunderdome back in the day.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You just got to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That sounds like a fixed sentence, by the way, No, no.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It's true. It's true. You mean you were the legendary
producer that made that happen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Longtime Fox Sports radio listeners remember that interview because Klay
Travis at the end said, this is the best interview
I've ever done in my entire career.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It was really cool. But it just, you know, you
gotta be magnum p I. I had to put a fake
mustache on yesterday after the show, and I spent an
hour tracking this guy down yesterday night.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So we will talk to the most famous bee keeper
in the world. We'll talk Ryan Garcia, We'll talk about Holmes.
But I guess the lesson we learned Cavino is it's
never I don't think it's ever bad idea to quote
grease someone, like if you want to throw a little
twenty in your palm old school bought your galoop style, like, hey,
I think we can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I'm not above greasing someone.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's kind of a slimy move. It's kind of shady behavior.
Can I tell you my slimiest grease move. I don't
mind it when it's like a job well done, you know,
like like a tip kind of but like the handshake
here you go. I appreciate you. But yeah, hey, if
that's what got it done, then you did the right thing.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Hey Monsey, I know you worked in the Universal World
for a while, correct, Yes, Jesz.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You know on the Universal Studio City Walk in Los
Angeles there's a Johnny Rockets. Yes, and I it was
my most embarrassing greasing situation ever because all those restaurants
have like an hour wait on a Saturday night and
I went up to like the nerdy sixty year old kid.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That was like the host at the host stand.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yes, I'm like, I was like, I need a table
at Johnny Rockets Pronto and I threw him like forty
bucks and he's like, right this way, sir. I was like,
I greased Johnny Rockets.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I know. I was like, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You might think it's like a lame move, or you
might be like, no, that's how you get things done.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The game because we don't A lot of us don't
do that enough. Maybe right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
My thought is, I know some people think it's awkward.
Some people will be like, oh, cringey, cringe.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I think that if you don't like waiting and
you want a table or for a hotel reservation, or hey,
maybe you want a little upgrade that present at the
front desk who's going through the computer trying to figure
out your hotel room, if you throw them a twenty cash, you.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Don't think to be like, let me see if I
have any better rooms.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I think this is underutilized, and I think at the
end of the day, on the rare occasion, you could
do it grease someone.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I actually have exclusive audio of Rich greasing someone. Here
he goes, oh, are you in the list?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But I believe my friends are.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Perhaps you know that Franklin Grand Panda I'm on classic
scene there, classic scene that is, how'd you get that? Sam?
I just rolled You're like an audio sleuth. I'm I'm
a favorite one of my favorite movies. We make things
happen here on the show, So again you heard rich.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
The most famous beekeeper in all the nation and renown.
It's our pleasure here on the Cavino and Rich Show.
You saw him at the Diamondbacks Dodgers game the other night.
Let's welcome Matt Hillton. Everybody, Hey Matt, what's up?
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Man?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
How you go?
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Now? Matt Hilton not only the most famous bee keeper
in all the nation, he's the branch manager of Blue
Sky Pest Control in Phoenix, Arizona, and a lot of
people are calling him the real hero of the week,
the real hero. It was so awesome, It was so great. Matt. First,
I want to thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We have lots of questions for you.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Sure, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Guys, Hey, no problem, Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So if you don't know, Matt's the guy that you
know went to Chase Field. The Bees were fore men
behind home plate Dodgers Diamondbacks, and the game was delayed
for a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
When they call you and you're in traffic, knowing that
nothing could be solved until you get there, What was
that like, sitting in traffic knowing that everyone sort of
waiting on you.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It was pretty nerve wracking. I mean, I knew it
was a big deal when they when the head guy
that Jase Field called me said the whole game was
on hold, I mean I just dropped everything and just jetted,
and luckily I didn't hit any traffic, But definitely my
mind was racing of all these scenarios that could be
wrong if I go wrong, if I ran into some traffic,
or you know, if the if the these situation went south,
(22:21):
because these things don't always go super smoothly, especially in
this type of scenario when you have a ton of
people around.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
What were you doing before you got this phone call, which,
by the way, I imagine you thought it was BS.
You're like, what in the hell, what's going on? Yeah?
What were you doing? Like you were having a regular,
ordinary day? I imagine, right.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, I was just I had just got to my
six year old son's last T ball game of the
season actually, so I was there with my wife and
four kids, and yeah, if we were just starting the
game with him when I got the call.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Now, was there any part of you that for a
second was like, no, I didn't plan on this, there's
no way, I'm sorry. Like, was there any part of
you when you got the phone call that just wanted
to go home and put your feet up, or did
you say to yourself, no, I'm the man for this mission.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, there's a when you there's not a whole lot
of clients that kind of have us on speed dials
to react this quickly. Chase Field is definitely one of them,
and so there's always kind of that in the back
of your mind. It's like, yeah, I don't want to
do this kind of doing my thing. I fucked out,
but I knew that this is a big deal, and
when these types of clients call in, like we got
(23:34):
to rush out there, and it's not way often that
it happens, and oh yeah, I just I knew I
needed to get it done.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Matt Hilton the number one bee keeper in all the lands.
We keep enhancing your title, Matt. When you wear taking
care of business at Chase Field. Were there any Dodgers
or Diamondbacks that were particularly interested in what you were doing, Like,
did any player show an interest?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Like?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh, bees, tell me more, Matt.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
We've had a couple of them reach out afterwards asking
some questions or wanting to chat. But while I was
there doing the treatment, I mean, it was all just
kind of a tornado and they were doing their thing.
They were finally able to get on the field and
start warming up and get going with the game, so
they were kind of preoccupied. I didn't really rub shoulders
(24:18):
with them, so I can't really speak for that.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, we have audio of Mookie Bets. He was screaming bees. Wait.
So again, if you guys missed it, it was one
of the bigger stories of the week. The bee colony
formed at the netting above home plate. Right, So first
of all, how does that even happen? Like what caused
that to happen? And then what did you use to
(24:43):
remove them? Like what were you spraying and everything?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah, so a lot of people aren't super familiar with
African eyed honey bees. They're nicknamed killer bees. They are
honey bees. But the African eyed honey bees that we
have here, they're much much more AGGRESSI this type of bee,
and they are still important to our environment and ecosystem.
So and so. But bee keepers don't generally keep Africanized
(25:09):
honeybees due to their extremely great aggressive nature. But when
a colony gets large enough, they essentially a large chunk
of them breaks off, has a new queen, and they
cruise along flying, and then they're just in this big
cloud of bees here in Arizona. Occasional we'll kind of
be driving or walking in this big old cloud of
(25:30):
bees goes over, you will when that cloud decides to land.
They just land within a matter of minutes, and they
have the queen there in the middle, and all the
workers are surrounding her, protecting her. And that's what we
saw there at the game that night with a swarm.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Hey, Matt, at what point when you knew, like I
got this under control. At what point did they say, Matt,
we'd like you to throw out the first pitch.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It was within just a couple of minutes of coming
down from the scissor lift. Because on my descent on
the scissor lift, I knew I had about maybe thirty
seconds of my fame. So that's when I was kind
of trying to work in the crowd a little bit,
and so I figured once I got down, I'd do
a couple more fits bumps and be on my way home.
(26:15):
But man, it just spiraled out of control from there,
and they asked me to do the pitch, and I
was like, I don't know who was scheduled before me,
but I'll take his place.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know, I was going to ask you that did
you bump You didn't bump somebody? What if you bumped
some little kid?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's so funny.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
I never found out, so.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There was no hesitation. You're like, yeah, I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I was like, I could not say no to that.
That's a once in a lifetime opportunity. And it was
an awesome experience. Can't say I threw the best strike
in the world, but I gave him my go and
still a super special experience.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And a standing ovation man like that must have been awesome.
Did you take your family with you since they called
you on such short notice, were you able to take
your kid on the field.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
No, because I mean I had to deploy so quickly,
and my twelve year old's done. He was asking if
he could go with me. But you know, it's not
something that it's just not something I can take him to, right,
I got you, and so, but yeah, they were The
Dbacks have been awesome though. They've actually they're going to
host my family out there for a game and one
of these nights.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Great, that's awesome. Matt Hilton, the guy that saved the
day beekeeper. Matt, I got one last question. I don't
know about Covido. I got.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
My question is.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
When you get this great moment of just you know,
timing and fame and like, yeah, it goes viral and
everyone's like, dude, the beekeeper saved the day at the
Diamondbacks Dodgers game. Who's the most random person in your
life that reached out to you? Like an old high
school classmate, an old teacher, like an old neighbor like
Matt was that you like, who's the most random person
that happened to hit you up?
Speaker 4 (27:50):
There's been just a lot of people, like a handful
of people from gosh, like from my college days, I
mean fifteen years ago. That the people I haven't heard
from it a long time, and you know, everyone's wondering
what happened to that guy. There's actually been several of
those types of people that have reached out and it's
been kind of cool or reconnecting.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, a lot of random Facebook friend requests. And you
own the moment which made it even more special. You
leaned into it, had fun with it. You were the
hero of the day, You got the standing ovation. I
want to know if nerves kicked in at any point
when when doing your job right, because you know all
these people are watching you. There's almost twenty nine thousand
people there. You know it's televised. I don't know if
(28:31):
they put you on the big screen at any moment,
but like, did you feel like the pressure in that
moment and then the pressure throwing the pitch.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I was feeling the pressure once I got to the
scissor lift. You know, I'm sizzorl List certified and I've
done Sizzor lifts work a bunch, but a lot of
sizzor lists are different in like the controls. So I
get up there, everyone's watching me. I'm trying to like
figure out, Okay, which buttons am I pushing to go up?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I feel like my arms would be shaken just doing it.
Know when all those people were watching.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Oh, I was taking for sure, But the guys next
to the to me that's worked out exact did the
lift a bunch. He kind of coached me over And
once I kind of went up then I'm then I
start racing in my mind, like it what could what
could go wrong here? If these bees start swarming out
and start singing people, or if I can't reach it.
That was another thing. So my mind was just racing
(29:23):
like hey, how can this go south? But once I
got up there, I'm confident in my skills that I've
done hundreds of bees. These be treatments before. So once
I got up there and knew I could reach it,
then I was Then my nerves started calming, and I
hear them blaring the I Need a Hero song in
the background.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Amazing, and you're the hero. So again, after a two
hour b delay, Matt saved the day. He removed the bees,
he throws the first pitch, he gets the standing ovation,
the Diamondbacks win, and it was extra innings, right extra
any game. So everyone's like, Oh, it's all because of Matt.
And then the story gets even cooler because Tops announced
Tops who didn't collect Tops Baseball cards, announced that they're
(30:06):
releasing a Matt Hilton autograph trading card. I gotta know
what that means to you? How cool was that?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
That was? When you asked about random people reaching out,
That's what I thought was you were gonna we were
going to get to was that was the most random
thing that has happened from this, Like you got all
the press and all that, and that's awesome. That's one
that kind of blew my mind because they reached out
to me and pushed the idea Tops did yesterday morning,
and in my mind, I'm just thinking, like, that's super cool.
(30:36):
But who in the world's going to buy this card?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Dude, I want that card. It's going to be a
rare moment card. I love that. I think the idea
is great. I think that's so cool. Did you collect
cards growing up?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I did? Actually, I collect baseball cards. I mean my
brother Sam and Will. They both they collected a bunch
of baseball cards.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The stats are going to say, like, what, twelve thousand
bees in one scoop? How many? Hey to tell you
how many queens that you got in your career.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
By the way, he is by far now the coolest
dad at his kids t ball game by far.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, and well there's actually talk of the d facts
hosting the whole t ball team.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I was gonna say, for all, like the lame, crappy
stories out there that we see every day, it's nice
when a good story comes along. So, Matt, thank you
so much for being on the show Man and continued success.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And that's awesome, man.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I'm glad your kids get to see dad in his
element too.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Right, Yeah, and that card, congrats on that. Matt Hilton,
the branch manager of Blue Sky Pest Control in Phoenix, Arizona.
We appreciate your time here on Fox Sports Radio. And
you're right rich with all the crappy stories. That's like
a fun one, dude, And like he stepped up and
came through in the moment, so that was awesome, so cool. Honestly, Comino,
(31:57):
think about it, I would be real nervous in that moment.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
A guy like you would be pooping your pants. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
But again, we've talked about it throughout the week. It's
been a theme of sorts sometimes, like if you have
time to think about things, you get in your head.
So it was sort of spontaneous for him, and it
all just sort of happened, and I guess you just
roll with it, so I think he was. It was
some nerves were alleviated just because of a spontaneity.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Not to take it take it down a perverted path.
But honestly, that applies to everything. If I told you
in your single day is like hey, a random hookup
versus like Hey, Cavino, the hottest girl ever is gonna
be coming to your apartment tonight at nine. Like you,
when you have time to think about things, it is
more there's more time to mess it up or get
get in your own head.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
That must have been a crazy rin to the stadium.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Though.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's awesome right this way? Bee Keeper so cool? Yeah,
I know. So we have more to get to on
the Cavino and Rich Show, Fox Sports Radio again old
school and fifty hits in just ten minutes. We're gonna
chop it up and throw it back to the nineties
for the most part. But it doesn't have to stay
in the nineties. No, we have to throw back Thursday
(33:05):
conversations every Thursday. And we got to talk this Ryan
Garcia drama because I have a fury. I do have
a bit of a theory on this.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh about I can't wait because I feel like you're
going to defend them and I think I might as well.
So we'll get to that. But Mancy, I'm sure has
an update for all of us, Helo.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Mancy Fellas breaking news.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Damian Lillard will make his return tonight for Game six
for the Milwaukee Bucks. It is win or go home
at Indiana against the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, Jannis Onto Tookoombo.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
They both worked out they were both going to be
a game time decision. Lillard was always trending towards playing
Jannis wasn't and that's what it ended up. So he
will make his return tonight.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, if if they somehow squeak squeak one out tonight
in Indiana, Jannis has to go Game seven.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
It seems so just because I'm telling you they thought
there was a chance he was gonna play.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
He worked out and they that he had a good workout.
So he is on the edge.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
And that's maybe what I'm thinking that they're like, if
we can pull off this game six well.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's the rest of the East, the Knicks, the Sixers,
the Celtics. There are teams that are like hoping like
they eliminate this team before they are full strength, because
you don't want if you're in the East, you don't
want dam and Giannis healthy together.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
You want you want to let Indiana get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Now.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
That is the first of two game sixes six thirty
pm Eastern time. And then you mentioned the seventy six
Ers also win or go home against the Knicks. That's
at nine pm Eastern time. And you guys, guys saw
that Philadelphia owners bought more than two thousand tickets.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, forg love, we talked about it yesterday. I'd love
to give it.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
To UH teachers ands And you know what, because you
know what, Knicks fans worth sneaking into Philide area, and
that's what you have to do.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
That is what I That's what you have to do
because as a right of a fan, I can go
watch my team play away.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's the right of the fans.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
So if you want to make it harder.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I I'm with it all right.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
In Major League Baseball, fellas, the Marlins completed a sweep
of the Rockies of five to four win and ten innings,
says Hu Sanchez the walk off RBI single, Francisco lindor
At the walkoff two RBI double in the eleventh inning,
as the Mets edge of the Cups seven to six.
The Giants beat the Red Sox three to one, Orioles
all over the Yankees seven to two in an Al
East battle, and the Rangers shut out the National six zero.
(35:15):
Today mark's the deadline for NFL teams to pick up
the fifth year option on twenty twenty one first rounders.
Two of the big names. Colts exercise their fifth year
option on defensive end quity pace contract, and the Steelers
have declined the fifth year option on running back Najie Harris.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Back to you, guys, thank.
Speaker 2 (35:31):

the Clippers on the road, would you be like the
one Clipper fans maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:37):

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, that'd be it.

Wow, there's one Clipper fan in Dallas. It's Zill be
the loudest one though. So yeah, that's Monzi bringing it again.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
We're Cavino and Rich and we got old school and

whether you're headed to campus to see some college baseball,
meet up with old friends, riches meeting up with old
friends right now, that is true, George and Ebeneezer.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
That joke never gets on never never, Or you want to.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Show off the alma mater to your kids. Spring is
primetime in college towns. And if you're planning a trip,
two words for you. Graduate hotels. There's no better place
to stay.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
You know, we're fans. We went to the Nashville location.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
We had a big party with our listeners and friends
and it was fantastic. I did karaoke till it closed
in the middle of the night. The Graduate hotels are
designed to really accommodate that city. Everything about the Nashville
location was Nashville.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
And I love it.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
When it's time to book, you can get up to
thirty percent off your stay with code CR show. That's
crshow good at any Graduate location up to thirty percent off.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Bees so funny Man Cavio and Rich Rich is in
New York City for Wrestling Con. He's got a whole
weekend planned out with I don't know, brutus to barber
is who's cutting your hare this weekend?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Oh yeah, and Prince the Barber's got my candle and
uh then I'm then I'm also going to do some
modeling with Rick the Model, Martell Kevin.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Don't you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
They do an old school eighties wrestling thing, and I've
been there before, but it's it's less about that. It's
a great event, but it's less about that. More about
hanging out with your buds. And I feel like if
you could commit to, hey, guys, every year, we're gonna
go to this game, or we're gonna go to this event,
or we're all gonna meet for the Kentucky Derby, or
we're all gonna go to a playoff game together. If
(37:52):
you keep the consistency, I think you have a better
chance of hanging out with your old school buds because
if you always change up the plan, it gives people
an opportunity to flake or bell out and be like, yeah,
I don't know, Well.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I'm hanging out with two buds this weekend, Canelo and Mungia.
And I can't wait, bro, I can't wait to watch
this fine out.

but we gotta do this. Look at the time, Oh.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
There's a certain.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yea. What we gonna do is go back.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, all right, We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and
Rich at Steve Covino, Rich Davis, Danny G Radio.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
If you go to at Covido Rich, you can see
the weakest toilet of all time in a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I can't believe you even decided to stay there after that. Wow,
super weak. Now week is something I've been saying since
I was in grade school. I feel junior high at least. YO,
that's so weak, and it's one of my favorites, to
be honest, and now kids are still saying it. We're
talking slang on this old school throwback Thursday when fifty
(39:17):
hits on the clock, and slang is something I love
to lean into and I have theories about it and
everything because slang could date you, but not knowing slang
could also date you. And I think you gotta be
up on things. I don't think you should be using them,
but you gotta know your kids language because it'll bring
you closer to them. You'll bridge the gap if you
(39:39):
know what they're talking about. It's as simple as that.
I know my kids slang. It doesn't mean I have
to use it because that would be ridiculous, right, but
knowing it, showing interest, laughing, I think it's funny. You
could say what you want about the ween eels of today,
but they got some funny slang. They're speaking their own language,
And I say, what.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Could we know you are? And I'll give props.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Cavino has always been one that has leaned into funny slang,
and honestly, I think it's sort of incorporates your sense
of humor quite a bit. It is rich, but it's
a real tricky dance because you'll say things as a joke,
like you know how kids say, you know, I'm built
different year that all the time in sports.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Especially, I'm built different problem. Like you'll say it jokingly,
but then the joke becomes a part of you and
now you're just saying it. It's like you with crocs.
It's like it starts off like you're wearing them around
the house, but then you're wearing to take out the trash.
Next thing you know, you're wearing them at the supermarket.
Like you gotta be careful with the slang. Yeah, if
you say, if you do it too much joking dany g.
Then it sort of becomes you yeah, rich. It's like
(40:39):
when older people say sus yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
You know what, you see a lot of this and
if you want to get caught up on like younger
people slang, I'm watching that stupid reality show that's entertaining.
I will say it's it's entertaining on Netflix, The Circle
and everything is like yo sauce or caf no cafe
and I saw that show.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
It's real straight dog water dog so stupid.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
Some of the slang we used to use in the nineties,
like I think too, I think to like the word
rad Yes, that's eighties obviously, eighties and nineties slang.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
There's there's some good ones. Eighties trickled into the nineties
stuff too. There's a nineties one. I think it's a
nineties one. Again, we don't know if they existed, and
we just because you know, kids today will say things
and think they invented it. But it's like, no, we
were saying that a long time ago. I said dope
in the nineties and I still say dope now. You
(41:41):
never stopped saying yeah, right, same here, daddy. I've never
stopped saying nope, Yo. That's dope, so we do us.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
We've never stopped saying yo in front of a certain
sense seriously.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
About sweet sweet, he's still sweet. Now we're gonna go
over some he's got some Iowa slang slang growing up. Yeah,
it's regionals, very regional. So we'll share some secrets. Depending
on where you're from, we might know, we might not.
I'm gonna see if, hey, do you remember this one?
Do you not remember that one? And we'll go over
some old school throwback Thursday slang. So put your thinking
(42:12):
cap on and start dialing and let's get involved. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
A lot of these get second life, and the people
that say them don't realize that they're giving it second life.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
They like, you're right, they think they invented I'll give
you one. Kids now say yo, that's lit. Lit.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Things are litty, that's lit. And I'm saying, like my
friend said that in the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Yeah, yeah, litt had a comeback and they think they
invented it. And it's like, nah, we were saying that.
And then if you say, your kids look at you funny.

Jy Thursday. Hell Yeah, Danny g I Wa Samuel Hello,
(02:20):
Sam Hi and Rich, it sucks that you're in New
York because you're missing out on the wonderful Man.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Hello, I know I played the Mets clip for Rich.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know I saw that at the bar right before
I came to the studio to do the show. I
stopped to meet a friend, got a little chips and guac,
and I wait a minute, the game's on right now.
And yeah, Mets Lindor put it in the books.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So before we talk about the Ryan Garcia witch hunt,
do you believe him? Do you believe that he took
peds or do you believe that he didn't do it
at all? That's his claim. We'll explain. We'll get to
your feedback before we get into all the gossip and
the drama. Rich, I know you had some stories. How
does it feel to be in New York?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Man, Yeah, everyone's unnecessarily hustling around. I still got that vibe.
I lived most of my life here, and I look around,
I'm like, where's everyone going?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You were wearing your shirt. You were wearing a shirt
yesterday that said hustle false sanitizing.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Maybe an irony for everyone that thinks they're on there hustling,
grind get all over it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know, it's just a lifestyle and we lived it,
and you kind of get past it. You hit a
point in life. It's like that lame song you used
to play in your pop radio days. Rich. You know,
you stay in New York too long, it makes you hard,
makes you too cold. You get sick of that grind.
And then you stay in LA too long it makes
you a little soft. Right, what's that lame song you
(03:47):
talked about.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You're quoting Neil Diamond, not a pop song from my time,
that's Neil Diamond.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I am. I said, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
That's what the song's about. I know that song.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh well, are you talking about boz Lerman?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that corny song. Truth to it too, because you
know we're not hating on the East Coast, that's where
we're from. But I think I'm over that grind as well, Buddy.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I look around and someone once said this to me,
And you might say this a BS statement, but someone said,
other than sports, do you ever see someone important running around?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You never see anyone who's running stuff running around. It's
usually someone less important. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, have you ever seen our boss like running to
get something?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Because guess what, he's the guy running it, right, she's
the woman running it. Like, so I look at all
these people, I'm like, where are you running to? You
must not be that important.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's well again, you could think that, but that's also
the lifestyle. That's what got us to where we are
right now. That that sort of hustle, that sort of hunger,
that sort of pace, it's just a different pace. In
New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We used to make fun of the tourists that would
stop in their tracks and look up at the buildings. Yeah,
and I don't hate him anymore, Kavino, because they're the
ones visiting a city, like trying to take it all in.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I now look at the people bumping into them, like,
get out of here. What do you think you're doing?
I look at that out like, get out here, loser.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I'm trying to get to work over.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You know what, though, neither of you have ever had
to produce the Covino and Rich Show and live commercials before,
because I've had to sprint from studio to studio. And
there was a day where Ramos was like, I didn't
know you could run that fast. I can't do it, Ramos,
do it, Ramos.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I didn't know you can't run that fast. That's like
a John Mullaney. Yeah, it's very Mullaney. Like Mulaney has
that new special with Letterman on Netflix. I'll put that
in tomorrow's Weekend Hobnobin.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But I do have one quick story before you get
into Mahomes and Ryan Garcia and let's be honest, a
couple uneventful playoff games last night. I felt like I
missed nothing by watching the highlights, like two thirty point differentials,
like that tonight's the game and that nine pm East
Coast start.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well we got yeah, we got some must wins Covina.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's got to hurt people that have an early morning
of work, Like the Nick sixer starts at nine o'clock, right.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
All those people are gonna be running to the office.
I'm sure. Yeah, not so important.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Before we get to NBA, your boy Ryan Garcia doing drugs,
all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I get to New York and I know that.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
You know how Comuna when you went to Hawaii, they
think you're Hawaiian even though you're Mexican and Italian. Apparently
Mexican plus Italian looks Hawaiian.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, I got that. You know, Mario Lopez looking vibe
about me where I'm sort of ethnically ambiguous a little bit.
You know how. I realized that I started getting discounts
on all my receipts, and I was like, I know
I'm cool in all, but I'm not that cool. I'm like,
why am I getting all these discounts? What does this mean?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And I asked one of those you're not an island boy?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, and it's like, I forget the name of it,
but there's a local discount that you get, and I
would get it when I was in Hawaii, and I
thought it was like a one time thing. I went
there again. I still got it. So they assume that
I'm Hawaiian and I'm cool. I feel one with the people.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I pulled even though I am LA guy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Now for the last man, we've been in La you
and I moved out with our show in twenty fifteen,
so it's a good eight plus years, man, which is wild.
But I went to the front desk of the hotel
I'm staying at and I'm like, I'm here to check in,
give him the credit card, ID, let's move this along.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And this girl gave me.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Of course, your typical new York East Coast attitude like
we don't got rooms up at until four o'clock okay,
And I'm like, whoa all right? East Coast customer service
from route out the gate.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Clearly a spicy latina that you're dealing with based on
the impression, Yeah, like monsy on steroids, sponsy spicy manzi.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So this guy's like, we don't got rooms until four
o'clock okay. I was like, so four o'clock, dude, it
was like one o'clock.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I had taken the Red Eye.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Red Eye meaning I got on a midnight flight, got
to New York at eight am, got breakfast with a
buddy that was kind enough to pick me up at
the airport, and then I made my way to Manhattan.
When you want to check into your room.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
By the way, grown man, aren't you embarrassed asking for
rides all the time your poor buddy has to pick
you up. You can't get an uber.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
No, I would never I would never want someone to
go out of the way to pick me up. But
it was picked me up too, so we could go
have breakfast together. Yeah, sure you've finagled that.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No, dude, same way, buy you eggs if you pick
me up at the airport.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Dude, the same way you never living at same way
your family rich.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Tom Sawyer's people into doing things for him and he
gives you like a slice of pizza as a thank you.
I know your tricks. I know your tricks.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
How far does your family in Jersey live from Newark Airport?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
They live fifteen minutes away and still don't want to
pick me up. And I'm sure your buddy doesn't want
to pick you up either. Well, you're grown mans.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
He picked me up and we had breakfast, and he
showed me his new place, see boat on the water,
And I was like, look at you living the life.
Drop me in the city, and all I wanted to
do was get in my hotel room, lay down, take
a little nap, take a shower. I don't sleep well
on the Red Eye, even with two edibles and a
glass of wine.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I was like, I was. I was just couldn't fall
a sleep people.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Wine, dude. That's and you couldn't fall asleep, dude. I
just keep staring at my coat of sleep, and then
in my head I'm like.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Why can't I sleep?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
My goodness, So.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Maybe I dozed off for like twenty minutes at a time.
Three times maybe, okay. So again the woman goes, we
don't got rooms.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Until far o'clock. Okay, So I go, I know how
this works.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
She's scarfaced.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Now I go, ma'am, I know how this worked.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Did she say you think you'll big time? I'll show
you shot good night to the back guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
So I said to her, Hey, listen, I know how
this works. I'm a New Yorker at heart, and I.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Perhaps you know my friend George Washington.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, I was like, perhaps you know my friend Andrew Jackson.
So I go, hey, I'm not from Iowa. No offense, Sam,
I'm not from Boise, Idaho. You know, I know New York.
This is my town. I just don't live her anymore.
You got rooms? I threw a twenty and she goes, well,
do you know what I think? I do have something?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm now you've got so how you did that? Wow?
So I was like, but get this insulting. If they
really didn't, though, I would have took your money and
be like, sorry, we don't. But hey, man, you got
that off So no.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But but here's the thing, MANCI take a look at
one of their phones, because she goes, there is one thing, though.
I go, I don't really care what the thing is.
It's a New York hotel. It was only a couple
hundred bucks, so I'm not expecting the four seasons.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know, it was like a newer hotel. But I
knew it was small. I knew the rooms were small.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
She goes, no, no, the one room I have, the
tall let's got a problem. What do you mean the
toilet's got a problem? She goes, do you want me
to tell you?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I go no, no, I'm fine, Give me the room.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
She goes, it's tricky, I got I don't know what
could be tricky about a toilet. Give me the room.
I'm not waiting till four o'clock. That's three hours, bro.
This is one of those New York City small hotels
where you can't even sit on the toilet if you wanted.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
It's slanted, dude, it's slanted and the bowl, the toilet
bowl has a pull in front of it, so you
actually didn't want to send on a toy.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
You have to straddle the sink.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
What wre rich?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm looking at this now, what is that? It's the
it's the sink and poll it's the sink. You have
to have your left and right leg on opposite sides
of a pole. You'd have to be a US gymnast,
so you have to sit on the side. He's sitting sideways.
Who's saying I feel excluded.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Everyone's looking at their phones and I'm just looking at
you guys, look at your phones.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, send it to Mansi and you know we'll post
it at covin On rich on her.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
You have to sit like side saddle kind of no,
but you either do that or you have to straddle
the sink. And Danny G, let me tell you sitting
sideways like Paul wall Bro.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Danny G, you're a little bit of a bigger guy
than me. I could promise you. There's no way you'd
be able to sit on this toilet.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No way you need like stirrups or something.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You'd have to be.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Like I'm going with the lobby. Wait, I've never seen
anything like this. I thought you were exaggerating. I really
did sideways.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah, it's against the walls. I would camp out at
the lobby bathroom. Bring my bathroom.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Are you in the picture now?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So that was my twenty dollars. I want my room now.
I guess you would say penalty.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Listen, phone, listen, Poppy, listen, Papa, I have the hok up.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
But yeah, just one problem, Rich. You should have asked
for ten of that twenty back.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah for real, Yeah you should go back like I
want to want ten bunths back I need. That's awesome.
By the way, you got to post this. Can you
post this now at Covino and Rich at radio.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
During our first commercial breakout? Post it.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
I don't understand how you didn't ask when she told
you, you should have been like, yes, what do you mean
does it not flush? Because I think she should have
been like, you're just not gonna.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Fitny Monty when I tell you you have to say sideway,
you have to sideway, Okay, you get on the toilet.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I said sideway. Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think I think I'm okay with that. That is impossible.
Why that's the one he just talked about the hustle
and bustle of New York. That should be the one
peaceful moment you get. And that's a nightmare. That makes
me talk this New York even more. And I say
that respectfully, Como. It was a small room. It's a
it's a midtown Times Square hotel. It's not dirty, but
(13:46):
mid before seasons. And let me tell you, they're like,
it's one of the smaller rooms and the bathroom has
an issue. And I saw it when I tell you,
I saw probably twenty people in the lobby on the
couches by the little fireplace, like waiting because they were
told the same thing. I'd be like, no, rom style
far and I'm like, I'm not waiting with the rest
of these jibbronis.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I want my room.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
So that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The penalty is so you get what you paid for you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, you should have gave her a hundred. Maybe we've
got normal toilet. So wow, that's that's terrible. I'm sorry
to hear that. So rich. Now that we know the story,
why don't you tell us why you're in New York
and then we'll set up this Ryan Garcia drama.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, So not only do we have Ryan Garcia drama,
we're gonna talk to the most famous beekeeper yep in
North America within ten minutes, a guy that saved the day.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Are you serious? Yeah, well that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Danny Danny G. Danny G. You're pretty good. Sleuth.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I feel like you're like, you know how everyone's girlfriend
could dig up stelf on anyone's ex if they wanted.
Danny G could find a guest better than anyone. If
it's like the girl that caught the Dodger home run
of Otani, if it's the beekeeper, Danny G like tracks
him down, like as a sleuth.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
This is how I got India's most famous tiger hunter
on an thunderdome back in the day.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You just got to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That sounds like a fixed sentence, by the way, No, no.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
It's true. It's true. You mean you were the legendary
producer that made that happen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Longtime Fox Sports radio listeners remember that interview because Klay
Travis at the end said, this is the best interview
I've ever done in my entire career.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
It was really cool. But it just, you know, you
gotta be magnum p I. I had to put a fake
mustache on yesterday after the show, and I spent an
hour tracking this guy down yesterday night.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So we will talk to the most famous bee keeper
in the world. We'll talk Ryan Garcia, We'll talk about Holmes.
But I guess the lesson we learned Cavino is it's
never I don't think it's ever bad idea to quote
grease someone, like if you want to throw a little
twenty in your palm old school bought your galoop style, like, hey,
I think we can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I'm not above greasing someone.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's kind of a slimy move. It's kind of shady behavior.
Can I tell you my slimiest grease move. I don't
mind it when it's like a job well done, you know,
like like a tip kind of but like the handshake
here you go. I appreciate you. But yeah, hey, if
that's what got it done, then you did the right thing.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Hey Monsey, I know you worked in the Universal World
for a while, correct, Yes, Jesz.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You know on the Universal Studio City Walk in Los
Angeles there's a Johnny Rockets. Yes, and I it was
my most embarrassing greasing situation ever because all those restaurants
have like an hour wait on a Saturday night and
I went up to like the nerdy sixty year old kid.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That was like the host at the host stand.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yes, I'm like, I was like, I need a table
at Johnny Rockets Pronto and I threw him like forty
bucks and he's like, right this way, sir. I was like,
I greased Johnny Rockets.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I know. I was like, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You might think it's like a lame move, or you
might be like, no, that's how you get things done.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The game because we don't A lot of us don't
do that enough. Maybe right.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
My thought is, I know some people think it's awkward.
Some people will be like, oh, cringey, cringe.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I think that if you don't like waiting and
you want a table or for a hotel reservation, or hey,
maybe you want a little upgrade that present at the
front desk who's going through the computer trying to figure
out your hotel room, if you throw them a twenty cash, you.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Don't think to be like, let me see if I
have any better rooms.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I think this is underutilized, and I think at the
end of the day, on the rare occasion, you could
do it grease someone.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I actually have exclusive audio of Rich greasing someone. Here
he goes, oh, are you in the list?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But I believe my friends are.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Perhaps you know that Franklin Grand Panda I'm on classic
scene there, classic scene that is, how'd you get that? Sam?
I just rolled You're like an audio sleuth. I'm I'm
a favorite one of my favorite movies. We make things
happen here on the show, So again you heard rich.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Now? Matt Hilton not only the most famous bee keeper
in all the nation, he's the branch manager of Blue
Sky Pest Control in Phoenix, Arizona, and a lot of
people are calling him the real hero of the week,
the real hero. It was so awesome, It was so great. Matt. First,
I want to thank you for your time.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We have lots of questions for you.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Sure, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Guys, Hey, no problem, Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So if you don't know, Matt's the guy that you
know went to Chase Field. The Bees were fore men
behind home plate Dodgers Diamondbacks, and the game was delayed
for a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Matt.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
When they call you and you're in traffic, knowing that
nothing could be solved until you get there, What was
that like, sitting in traffic knowing that everyone sort of
waiting on you.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It was pretty nerve wracking. I mean, I knew it
was a big deal when they when the head guy
that Jase Field called me said the whole game was
on hold, I mean I just dropped everything and just jetted,
and luckily I didn't hit any traffic, But definitely my
mind was racing of all these scenarios that could be
wrong if I go wrong, if I ran into some traffic,
or you know, if the if the these situation went south,
(22:21):
because these things don't always go super smoothly, especially in
this type of scenario when you have a ton of
people around.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
What were you doing before you got this phone call, which,
by the way, I imagine you thought it was BS.
You're like, what in the hell, what's going on? Yeah?
What were you doing? Like you were having a regular,
ordinary day? I imagine, right.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, I was just I had just got to my
six year old son's last T ball game of the
season actually, so I was there with my wife and
four kids, and yeah, if we were just starting the
game with him when I got the call.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Now, was there any part of you that for a
second was like, no, I didn't plan on this, there's
no way, I'm sorry. Like, was there any part of
you when you got the phone call that just wanted
to go home and put your feet up, or did
you say to yourself, no, I'm the man for this mission.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah, there's a when you there's not a whole lot
of clients that kind of have us on speed dials
to react this quickly. Chase Field is definitely one of them,
and so there's always kind of that in the back
of your mind. It's like, yeah, I don't want to
do this kind of doing my thing. I fucked out,
but I knew that this is a big deal, and
when these types of clients call in, like we got
(23:34):
to rush out there, and it's not way often that
it happens, and oh yeah, I just I knew I
needed to get it done.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Matt Hilton the number one bee keeper in all the lands.
We keep enhancing your title, Matt. When you wear taking
care of business at Chase Field. Were there any Dodgers
or Diamondbacks that were particularly interested in what you were doing, Like,
did any player show an interest?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Like?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Oh, bees, tell me more, Matt.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
We've had a couple of them reach out afterwards asking
some questions or wanting to chat. But while I was
there doing the treatment, I mean, it was all just
kind of a tornado and they were doing their thing.
They were finally able to get on the field and
start warming up and get going with the game, so
they were kind of preoccupied. I didn't really rub shoulders
(24:18):
with them, so I can't really speak for that.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, we have audio of Mookie Bets. He was screaming bees. Wait.
So again, if you guys missed it, it was one
of the bigger stories of the week. The bee colony
formed at the netting above home plate. Right, So first
of all, how does that even happen? Like what caused
that to happen? And then what did you use to
(24:43):
remove them? Like what were you spraying and everything?
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah, so a lot of people aren't super familiar with
African eyed honey bees. They're nicknamed killer bees. They are
honey bees. But the African eyed honey bees that we
have here, they're much much more AGGRESSI this type of bee,
and they are still important to our environment and ecosystem.
So and so. But bee keepers don't generally keep Africanized
(25:09):
honeybees due to their extremely great aggressive nature. But when
a colony gets large enough, they essentially a large chunk
of them breaks off, has a new queen, and they
cruise along flying, and then they're just in this big
cloud of bees here in Arizona. Occasional we'll kind of
be driving or walking in this big old cloud of
(25:30):
bees goes over, you will when that cloud decides to land.
They just land within a matter of minutes, and they
have the queen there in the middle, and all the
workers are surrounding her, protecting her. And that's what we
saw there at the game that night with a swarm.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Hey, Matt, at what point when you knew, like I
got this under control. At what point did they say, Matt,
we'd like you to throw out the first pitch.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It was within just a couple of minutes of coming
down from the scissor lift. Because on my descent on
the scissor lift, I knew I had about maybe thirty
seconds of my fame. So that's when I was kind
of trying to work in the crowd a little bit,
and so I figured once I got down, I'd do
a couple more fits bumps and be on my way home.
(26:15):
But man, it just spiraled out of control from there,
and they asked me to do the pitch, and I
was like, I don't know who was scheduled before me,
but I'll take his place.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You know, I was going to ask you that did
you bump You didn't bump somebody? What if you bumped
some little kid?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's so funny.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
I never found out, so.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There was no hesitation. You're like, yeah, I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I was like, I could not say no to that.
That's a once in a lifetime opportunity. And it was
an awesome experience. Can't say I threw the best strike
in the world, but I gave him my go and
still a super special experience.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And a standing ovation man like that must have been awesome.
Did you take your family with you since they called
you on such short notice, were you able to take
your kid on the field.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
No, because I mean I had to deploy so quickly,
and my twelve year old's done. He was asking if
he could go with me. But you know, it's not
something that it's just not something I can take him to, right,
I got you, and so, but yeah, they were The
Dbacks have been awesome though. They've actually they're going to
host my family out there for a game and one
of these nights.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Great, that's awesome. Matt Hilton, the guy that saved the
day beekeeper. Matt, I got one last question. I don't
know about Covido. I got.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
My question is.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
When you get this great moment of just you know,
timing and fame and like, yeah, it goes viral and
everyone's like, dude, the beekeeper saved the day at the
Diamondbacks Dodgers game. Who's the most random person in your
life that reached out to you? Like an old high
school classmate, an old teacher, like an old neighbor like
Matt was that you like, who's the most random person
that happened to hit you up?
Speaker 4 (27:50):
There's been just a lot of people, like a handful
of people from gosh, like from my college days, I
mean fifteen years ago. That the people I haven't heard
from it a long time, and you know, everyone's wondering
what happened to that guy. There's actually been several of
those types of people that have reached out and it's
been kind of cool or reconnecting.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, a lot of random Facebook friend requests. And you
own the moment which made it even more special. You
leaned into it, had fun with it. You were the
hero of the day, You got the standing ovation. I
want to know if nerves kicked in at any point
when when doing your job right, because you know all
these people are watching you. There's almost twenty nine thousand
people there. You know it's televised. I don't know if
(28:31):
they put you on the big screen at any moment,
but like, did you feel like the pressure in that
moment and then the pressure throwing the pitch.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I was feeling the pressure once I got to the
scissor lift. You know, I'm sizzorl List certified and I've
done Sizzor lifts work a bunch, but a lot of
sizzor lists are different in like the controls. So I
get up there, everyone's watching me. I'm trying to like
figure out, Okay, which buttons am I pushing to go up?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I feel like my arms would be shaken just doing it.
Know when all those people were watching.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Oh, I was taking for sure, But the guys next
to the to me that's worked out exact did the
lift a bunch. He kind of coached me over And
once I kind of went up then I'm then I
start racing in my mind, like it what could what
could go wrong here? If these bees start swarming out
and start singing people, or if I can't reach it.
That was another thing. So my mind was just racing
(29:23):
like hey, how can this go south? But once I
got up there, I'm confident in my skills that I've
done hundreds of bees. These be treatments before. So once
I got up there and knew I could reach it,
then I was Then my nerves started calming, and I
hear them blaring the I Need a Hero song in
the background.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Amazing, and you're the hero. So again, after a two
hour b delay, Matt saved the day. He removed the bees,
he throws the first pitch, he gets the standing ovation,
the Diamondbacks win, and it was extra innings, right extra
any game. So everyone's like, Oh, it's all because of Matt.
And then the story gets even cooler because Tops announced
Tops who didn't collect Tops Baseball cards, announced that they're
(30:06):
releasing a Matt Hilton autograph trading card. I gotta know
what that means to you? How cool was that?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
That was? When you asked about random people reaching out,
That's what I thought was you were gonna we were
going to get to was that was the most random
thing that has happened from this, Like you got all
the press and all that, and that's awesome. That's one
that kind of blew my mind because they reached out
to me and pushed the idea Tops did yesterday morning,
and in my mind, I'm just thinking, like, that's super cool.
(30:36):
But who in the world's going to buy this card?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Dude, I want that card. It's going to be a
rare moment card. I love that. I think the idea
is great. I think that's so cool. Did you collect
cards growing up?
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I did? Actually, I collect baseball cards. I mean my
brother Sam and Will. They both they collected a bunch
of baseball cards.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The stats are going to say, like, what, twelve thousand
bees in one scoop? How many? Hey to tell you
how many queens that you got in your career.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
By the way, he is by far now the coolest
dad at his kids t ball game by far.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Yeah, and well there's actually talk of the d facts
hosting the whole t ball team.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I was gonna say, for all, like the lame, crappy
stories out there that we see every day, it's nice
when a good story comes along. So, Matt, thank you
so much for being on the show Man and continued success.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
And that's awesome, man.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I'm glad your kids get to see dad in his
element too.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Right, Yeah, and that card, congrats on that. Matt Hilton,
the branch manager of Blue Sky Pest Control in Phoenix, Arizona.
We appreciate your time here on Fox Sports Radio. And
you're right rich with all the crappy stories. That's like
a fun one, dude, And like he stepped up and
came through in the moment, so that was awesome, so cool. Honestly, Comino,
(31:57):
think about it, I would be real nervous in that moment.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
A guy like you would be pooping your pants. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
But again, we've talked about it throughout the week. It's
been a theme of sorts sometimes, like if you have
time to think about things, you get in your head.
So it was sort of spontaneous for him, and it
all just sort of happened, and I guess you just
roll with it, so I think he was. It was
some nerves were alleviated just because of a spontaneity.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Not to take it take it down a perverted path.
But honestly, that applies to everything. If I told you
in your single day is like hey, a random hookup
versus like Hey, Cavino, the hottest girl ever is gonna
be coming to your apartment tonight at nine. Like you,
when you have time to think about things, it is
more there's more time to mess it up or get
get in your own head.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
That must have been a crazy rin to the stadium.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Though.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's awesome right this way? Bee Keeper so cool? Yeah,
I know. So we have more to get to on
the Cavino and Rich Show, Fox Sports Radio again old
school and fifty hits in just ten minutes. We're gonna
chop it up and throw it back to the nineties
for the most part. But it doesn't have to stay
in the nineties. No, we have to throw back Thursday
(33:05):
conversations every Thursday. And we got to talk this Ryan
Garcia drama because I have a fury. I do have
a bit of a theory on this.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh about I can't wait because I feel like you're
going to defend them and I think I might as well.
So we'll get to that. But Mancy, I'm sure has
an update for all of us, Helo.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Mancy Fellas breaking news.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Damian Lillard will make his return tonight for Game six
for the Milwaukee Bucks. It is win or go home
at Indiana against the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, Jannis Onto Tookoombo.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
They both worked out they were both going to be
a game time decision. Lillard was always trending towards playing
Jannis wasn't and that's what it ended up. So he
will make his return tonight.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, if if they somehow squeak squeak one out tonight
in Indiana, Jannis has to go Game seven.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
It seems so just because I'm telling you they thought
there was a chance he was gonna play.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
He worked out and they that he had a good workout.
So he is on the edge.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
And that's maybe what I'm thinking that they're like, if
we can pull off this game six well.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's the rest of the East, the Knicks, the Sixers,
the Celtics. There are teams that are like hoping like
they eliminate this team before they are full strength, because
you don't want if you're in the East, you don't
want dam and Giannis healthy together.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
You want you want to let Indiana get rid of him.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Now.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
That is the first of two game sixes six thirty
pm Eastern time. And then you mentioned the seventy six
Ers also win or go home against the Knicks. That's
at nine pm Eastern time. And you guys, guys saw
that Philadelphia owners bought more than two thousand tickets.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Yeah, forg love, we talked about it yesterday. I'd love
to give it.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
To UH teachers ands And you know what, because you
know what, Knicks fans worth sneaking into Philide area, and
that's what you have to do.
Speaker 6 (34:45):
That is what I That's what you have to do
because as a right of a fan, I can go
watch my team play away.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's the right of the fans.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
So if you want to make it harder.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I I'm with it all right.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
In Major League Baseball, fellas, the Marlins completed a sweep
of the Rockies of five to four win and ten innings,
says Hu Sanchez the walk off RBI single, Francisco lindor
At the walkoff two RBI double in the eleventh inning,
as the Mets edge of the Cups seven to six.
The Giants beat the Red Sox three to one, Orioles
all over the Yankees seven to two in an Al
East battle, and the Rangers shut out the National six zero.
(35:15):
Today mark's the deadline for NFL teams to pick up
the fifth year option on twenty twenty one first rounders.
Two of the big names. Colts exercise their fifth year
option on defensive end quity pace contract, and the Steelers
have declined the fifth year option on running back Najie Harris.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Back to you, guys, thank.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I was just thinking if you went to go see
the Clippers on the road, would you be like the
one Clipper fans maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Like two of us.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, that'd be it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Wow, there's one Clipper fan in Dallas. It's Zill be
the loudest one though. So yeah, that's Monzi bringing it again.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
We're Cavino and Rich and we got old school and
fifty hits next stick around on Fox Sports Radio. And
whether you're headed to campus to see some college baseball,
meet up with old friends, riches meeting up with old
friends right now, that is true, George and Ebeneezer.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
That joke never gets on never never, Or you want to.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Show off the alma mater to your kids. Spring is
primetime in college towns. And if you're planning a trip,
two words for you. Graduate hotels. There's no better place
to stay.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
You know, we're fans. We went to the Nashville location.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
We had a big party with our listeners and friends
and it was fantastic. I did karaoke till it closed
in the middle of the night. The Graduate hotels are
designed to really accommodate that city. Everything about the Nashville
location was Nashville.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
And I love it.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
When it's time to book, you can get up to
thirty percent off your stay with code CR show. That's
crshow good at any Graduate location up to thirty percent off.
Go book your stay now at Graduate hootels dot com
and Kavino. If you're looking ahead to the college football season,
I know a lot of guys do a little guys weekend,
little family weekend. Book the rooms now because those book
(36:54):
up quick, So again, head to Graduatehotels dot com code
see our show.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Bees so funny Man Cavio and Rich Rich is in
New York City for Wrestling Con. He's got a whole
weekend planned out with I don't know, brutus to barber
is who's cutting your hare this weekend?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Oh yeah, and Prince the Barber's got my candle and
uh then I'm then I'm also going to do some
modeling with Rick the Model, Martell Kevin.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Don't you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
They do an old school eighties wrestling thing, and I've
been there before, but it's it's less about that. It's
a great event, but it's less about that. More about
hanging out with your buds. And I feel like if
you could commit to, hey, guys, every year, we're gonna
go to this game, or we're gonna go to this event,
or we're all gonna meet for the Kentucky Derby, or
we're all gonna go to a playoff game together. If
(37:52):
you keep the consistency, I think you have a better
chance of hanging out with your old school buds because
if you always change up the plan, it gives people
an opportunity to flake or bell out and be like, yeah,
I don't know, Well.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
I'm hanging out with two buds this weekend, Canelo and Mungia.
And I can't wait, bro, I can't wait to watch
this fine out.

but we gotta do this. Look at the time, Oh.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
There's a certain.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yea. What we gonna do is go back.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, all right, We're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and
Rich at Steve Covino, Rich Davis, Danny G Radio.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
If you go to at Covido Rich, you can see
the weakest toilet of all time in a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I can't believe you even decided to stay there after that. Wow,
super weak. Now week is something I've been saying since
I was in grade school. I feel junior high at least. YO,
that's so weak, and it's one of my favorites, to
be honest, and now kids are still saying it. We're
talking slang on this old school throwback Thursday when fifty
(39:17):
hits on the clock, and slang is something I love
to lean into and I have theories about it and
everything because slang could date you, but not knowing slang
could also date you. And I think you gotta be
up on things. I don't think you should be using them,
but you gotta know your kids language because it'll bring
you closer to them. You'll bridge the gap if you
(39:39):
know what they're talking about. It's as simple as that.
I know my kids slang. It doesn't mean I have
to use it because that would be ridiculous, right, but
knowing it, showing interest, laughing, I think it's funny. You
could say what you want about the ween eels of today,
but they got some funny slang. They're speaking their own language,
And I say, what.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Could we know you are? And I'll give props.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Cavino has always been one that has leaned into funny slang,
and honestly, I think it's sort of incorporates your sense
of humor quite a bit. It is rich, but it's
a real tricky dance because you'll say things as a joke,
like you know how kids say, you know, I'm built
different year that all the time in sports.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Especially, I'm built different problem. Like you'll say it jokingly,
but then the joke becomes a part of you and
now you're just saying it. It's like you with crocs.
It's like it starts off like you're wearing them around
the house, but then you're wearing to take out the trash.
Next thing you know, you're wearing them at the supermarket.
Like you gotta be careful with the slang. Yeah, if
you say, if you do it too much joking dany g.
Then it sort of becomes you yeah, rich. It's like
(40:39):
when older people say sus yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
You know what, you see a lot of this and
if you want to get caught up on like younger
people slang, I'm watching that stupid reality show that's entertaining.
I will say it's it's entertaining on Netflix, The Circle
and everything is like yo sauce or caf no cafe
and I saw that show.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
It's real straight dog water dog so stupid.
Speaker 5 (41:10):
Some of the slang we used to use in the nineties,
like I think too, I think to like the word
rad Yes, that's eighties obviously, eighties and nineties slang.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
There's there's some good ones. Eighties trickled into the nineties
stuff too. There's a nineties one. I think it's a
nineties one. Again, we don't know if they existed, and
we just because you know, kids today will say things
and think they invented it. But it's like, no, we
were saying that a long time ago. I said dope
in the nineties and I still say dope now. You
(41:41):
never stopped saying yeah, right, same here, daddy. I've never
stopped saying nope, Yo. That's dope, so we do us.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
We've never stopped saying yo in front of a certain
sense seriously.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
About sweet sweet, he's still sweet. Now we're gonna go
over some he's got some Iowa slang slang growing up. Yeah,
it's regionals, very regional. So we'll share some secrets. Depending
on where you're from, we might know, we might not.
I'm gonna see if, hey, do you remember this one?
Do you not remember that one? And we'll go over
some old school throwback Thursday slang. So put your thinking
(42:12):
cap on and start dialing and let's get involved. Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
A lot of these get second life, and the people
that say them don't realize that they're giving it second life.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
They like, you're right, they think they invented I'll give
you one. Kids now say yo, that's lit. Lit.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Things are litty, that's lit. And I'm saying, like my
friend said that in the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Yeah, yeah, litt had a comeback and they think they
invented it. And it's like, nah, we were saying that.
And then if you say, your kids look at you funny.
So give us a call. Let's talk old school slang
throw back Thursday, Cavino and Rich

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
